Chapter 20 - Hidden Talent

“Yes? You want me to teach you swordsmanship?”

Ian nodded to Nathan.

“Galon said you would teach me well?”

Nathan was confused by Ian’s words.

“No, why would you ask me?”

Ian recalled Galon’s words instead of answering.

When asked to teach swordsmanship, Galon said this: ‘I believe Nathan’s swordsmanship will fit the prince better.’

[My swordsmanship is practically best for direct assaults. On the other hand, Nathan’s swordsmanship looks fancy at first glance, but it is a unique technique that uses the opponent’s power to get the upper hand.]

In fact, Galon said he watched all of Ian’s fights.

[Your reflexes are very good. You have an eye for instant judgment and noticing the weakness of your enemy.]

[Is…that so?]

[Yes. It’s a rare talent even in the kingdom. It’s so precious even among the Kaistein royals who are good at swordsmanship, so it will be okay to try to live with it.]

That’s why he recommended Nathan.

[It will be easier if you think of him as a swordsman similar to you, Prince.]

Perhaps it would be more helpful to learn from the same type of swordsman.

[Don’t worry. He may look like that, but Nathan is also a genius in this field.]

Ian also agreed with him.

‘It was definitely a useful move when I saw him fighting the bandits.’

It was fast and powerful, yet completely ravaged the enemy.

Anyway, if the great Galon would recommend him instead, it wouldn’t be a bad choice.

However, Nathan seemed to be flustered.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Galon recommended it.”

“No, that’s not it!”

Nathan thumped his chest with frustration.

“Why do you want to learn swordsmanship yourself? We’re going to protect you anyway!”

“!”

Oh. So that was the reason?
